It’s bad enough President Obama feels the need to instruct us ordinary people on what Memorial Day is all about, ignoring his bonehead moment from last year…
On this Memorial Day, as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes — and I see many of them in the audience here today — our sense of patriotism is particularly strong.
Now let’s pile on economic insights during a recent C-SPAN interview that are truly illuminating.
“We’re out of money now.”
And whose fault is that?
anybody want to tell the boo we were outta money some hundred days ago?
Ok, lets take it a face value and assume he is correct about saving 2 trillion dollors. How much are we going to be spending in that same period in time on Healthcare that we are not spending now?
He talks as though Government controlled Healthcare spending has been happening. If it was something that has been going on for a extended period of time then cool we save 2 trillion, but saving 2 trillion when your spending 50 trillion more then you are now isn’t a sound fiscal decision.
Reducing the money the health care benefit costs the Government…. sounds like the only real way to do that is to reduce the health care provided. Rationing anyone?
Here’s a hint. Lawyers and Insurance bureaucracies add nothing to the health of the patient. Reduce THEIR involvement and see what happens to the costs.
The regressives’ solution is population control, which is a solution; but, only for those who have closed their minds.
Then again, may be they should focus on developing and building the economy during a recession, rather than socialist programs. They could also stop interfering and allow the people to live their lives and develop the economy, since it is they who created the wealth and prosperity in the first place.
Does anyone else feel suffocated? It’s time for these pretenders to humble themselves before the people they serve.
We have a large unproductive population, including: illegal immigrants, citizens in the prime of their lives, citizens in early development, and citizens approaching or in retirement. We also have a small upper class, and a large middle class, which do not contribute sufficiently to compensate for the unproductive class, in order to sustain the policies passed and under consideration.
The cost of medical services and goods will increase, especially as our population ages, and so long as many people maintain their unhealthy habits. This is just one of many costs that directly or indirectly sabotage our nation. There are also the many social and entitlement programs, as well as corruption, that cannot be sustained, even in the “wealthiest” nation on Earth.
Either we choose conservative principles to guide us, or the liberal policies will certainly destroy us.
not surprising considering he was buddy-buddy with Tony Rezko. Would you call that “Rezko-economics”? Here is my take on it
